Thursday, December 31, 2015

LG's
upcoming flagship smarphone -the G5- will come with a secondary display
similar to the one thatthe V10sports, according to a report fromVentureBeat. The 160 x 1040 pixel resolution
display will also be there on several other LG phones coming next year.

As
per the report, the smartphone will also come with a dual rear camera set-up -
something thatwe already know-
giving the main 16MP camera a 135-degree wide-angle capability.

"In between the two lenses is a
circle with a quartet of elements in a square configuration, according to the
briefed individual, who was also shown images of the upcoming flagship,"
the report says. "Two of those are LED flash bulbs, while another one is a
laser for assisting with autofocus, first deployed on 2014’s LG G3. The fourth
element is also found on G4: a so-called RGB sensor to further assist with
autofocus and other scene-recognition functions."

In addition, the device will also
feature what the report calls aMagic
Slot. "It is said to enable some
functional expansion by way of hardware modules. The examples we were given
range from an array of specified cameras — action, 360 VR, 'party' — to an
audio amplifier to a physical keyboard."

As for the other specs, the report
notes that the G5 will be powered by a Snapdragon 820 chipset, and sport a
5.3-inch QHD display. RAM will be 3GB, while internal memory will be 32GB.
Featuring an 8MP front camera, the device will pack in a 2,800mAh battery, and
also come with a fingerprint sensor on the back.

There's no word on the pricing. As
for availability, the report says the handset will see a "first quarter
2016 launch."
